I’m pleased that I can be a minimal contributor to the development of CHDK for the Canon G12. I cannot code, but I was able to dump the G12 firmware version 1.00e from my new camera and get it into the hands of smart, hard-working folks who are able to use it for development of this great tool for those who enjoy fiddling with their Canons.
philmoz has done some great work, and BLINDLY I might add, on the CHDK for 1.00e since his camera does not run the appropriate firmware. I want to give a big shout out to all of the true geniuses who put in a lot of hard work to get this project working on as many cameras as possible. There is no financial incentive, and all of the work is done out of love for the product. I’m not a freetard by any stretch, but this is a great way to have community contributions in a software project.
More details can be had from this thread at the CHDK forums if you are interested in running CHDK on your G12 camera.
